Post-traumatic growth?

Post-traumatic growth is the transformative power that emerges from adversity, where you don't just survive trauma—you thrive, finding new purpose, deeper connections, and a greater appreciation for life. It’s about rediscovering your strength and using it to build a future beyond the scars.
